"Intriguing and intimidating
Dangers' cultural osterizing evolves to the nth degree of studio sophistication... " - ROLLING STONE
"Without MBM's groundbreaking amalgams of hip-hop and industrial dance music, modern dance music genres such as Big Beat and Drum & Bass wouldn't exist...one of Britain's most inventive practitioners of sampladelic funk." - ALTERNATIVE PRESS
"A true innovator, MBM main man Jack Dangers helped lay down the rules for dub-inflected electronica, throwing down heavy breaks atop challenging experimental sound" - CMJ
"The sounds of futuristic riddims that both predate electronic genre nicknames and mock their ideals; one that may be defined purely by its sphere of influence on modern music
" - URB
MBM is continually evolving, staying three steps ahead of the music scene. Its tenth album pushes musical boundaries further than it has before, creating a masterpiece of dubstep and electronica in Autoimmune. Kicking off with the aural collage "International," Jack assembles vocal samples and arranges them artfully atop a funky dub sway beat, creating a tapestry that hints at the sonic textures further within. On "I Hold the Mic!," guest vocalist Daddy Sandy's toasting weaves in and out of MBM's futuristic soundscapes.The techno-tinged "Spanish Vocoder" pushes his early techno roots, propelling the dance beats into mesmerizing heights. Bay Area rapper Azeem takes control of the mic on "Young Cassius", a perfect melding of urban hiphop and electronic jazz. "Every record is different," Jack explains, "and in this record I focused on what I like to do versus what other people like me to do: beats, bass and distortion."
An acknowledged innovator in the electronic music scene, Jack Dangers continues to stretch sonic boundaries and influence new generations of sound activists. As a premiere remixer, producer and sound designer, he has played a seminal role in defining tomorrows' music today. Past and current Dangers' production/remixing projects include: Public Enemy, David Bowie, Orbital, Nine Inch Nails, David Byrne, Bush, Depeche Mode, Tower of Power, The Bee Gees and DJ Spooky & Dave Lombardo (Slayer). MBM also contributed the track "Suicide" to the top-selling soundtrack to Underworld: Evolution and Jack's remix of Tower Of Power's "What Is Funk?" was nominated for a Grammy in 2006.
